I Wish I Knew This Sooner with Sidney Raskind

What changes when you realize time isn’t guaranteed?

In this episode of Live Like it Matters, Elissa Kalver speaks with Sidney Raskind (Sidney Raz) about the life-shifting experience of being diagnosed with stomach cancer — and how it changed the way he approaches everyday life.

Known for sharing practical advice people wish they learned sooner, Sidney reflects on how those lessons took on a completely different meaning after his diagnosis.

This is a conversation about perspective, priorities, and learning how to live with more intention — not someday, but now.

Follow Live Like it Matters for more conversations about the moments that shape how we live.

Where storytelling meets spontaneity. No script. No rules. Just raw, honest, and often ridiculous conversations about life, loss, healing, and hope. These are the messy, magical moments that make life worth showing up for, even when it’s hard. Elissa sits down with friends, specialists, fellow cancer thrivers, and sometimes whoever happens to wander in on recording day. With no script, expect raw laughter, real tears, and unexpectedly deep conversations. Every episode is a reminder that authenticity is messy, beautiful, and worth sharing. And remember to Live Like It Matters
